Darn cookies, as you know, not much to worry about, but I do suggest you do the following
I keep this small program on all my machines

SpywareBlaster  by JavaCool  
At the link you can read more about it then continue with
Free Download on the right>>Continue Download at next page
Basically it

*Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox
*Restrict actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer

Select Manual updating when installing
After installation, Check for updates
After updating, select "Protection Status" on the Left
Then select "Enable all Protection"
"Check for updates every couple of weeks"
after every update just simply click the "enable protection on all unprotected items"
or again, click on Protection Startus>>enable all protection

Really great additive protection, with no need to run in the background

Thx questolo but the first thing i did was DLed Avast and AVG and im probably gonna buy the License thingy for AVG soon

[guestolo]

Damn, please don't run 2 AV's at the same time, your probably find a drop in system efficiency
Select which on you like the best, uninstall the other
Imagine having 2 AV's battling over each other, on scanning, no wait I want to scan that, no, it's my turn, I'll scan that, no, me first

You get the idea, you don't need that frustration

Spywareblaster is totally different than an AV software, It's a passive protection, no real time protection
Again, just silently helps to protect you, please read the documenation from the link I supplied
And please only decide on one AntiVirus software, If you want a second opinion, how about once in awhile you do an Online Virus scan with something like BitDefender
P.s> I would stick with Avast, do you know how to schedule it for a weekly Virus scan?

[Krogan]

well i have it set up to where avast scans downloads automatically and AVG does a daily scan and avast does a weekly scan on saturdays. . . i have them set up for different tasks so i dont run into the Conflicting scan thing ya know? also, if im surfing the web i turn on the web defender that avast has where it scans the page or whatnot

[guestolo]

Hey, no problem, if you want to run more than one AV, that's your option
Here's a direct quote from Avast

Q: Should I uninstall other anti-virus programs (Norton Antivirus, McAfee, AVG, Kaspersky Antivirus etc.) before installing avast!?

A: Yes. Using two or more antivirus programs can cause problems and the operating system may become unstable.

But then again, up to you
